In a room that is dimly lit by the white moonlight. A man stands with a disheveled hair and eyebags under his eyes as though the Man haven't slept for a week. The man looked naive, frail, and someone who can be easily fooled by the deceivers and was average looking. A man surely destined to be eaten by the sea
Under him complex symbols was shown by the glowing lamp with a huge circle on the center and 4 other small circle in north, east, west, and south of the circle. The man closed his eyes and walked into the south circle and began to move east then north, then west, then entering to the middle circle.
Small particles began to appear around him and the circle began to glow. The blue light emitting by the circle began to illuminate the room. The blue gem necklace began to glow
Then the man's body was transported in a vast deep ocean with no visible beginning nor end. Countless fish began to appear around him. The fish has patterns on them that emitted the same blue light as the circle
Then a huge whale like creature emerged from the deep sea. The creature roared, scaring the other fish immediately. The man stood on the middle unbothered as if he doesn't know what supernatural things is happening around him
A huge bubble was protecting the man and protecting him from the unknown creatures of the unknown depths
In the real world a sudden loud noise suddenly sounded. After hearing this, the once supernatural surrounding disappeared in an instant
The man vomit a mouthful of blood directly on the complex formation as he said in a devastated voice
"It seems this ritual is a scam, damnit!"
"I wasted a lot of time preparing and doing this!"
The man's name is Han Cang and was diagnosed with Cirrhosis. Han Cang dreamt to become rich, powerful, someone who could rule the world but it all came crashing down once he was diagnosed with Cirrhosis. The dreamt of becoming a man that can rule the world transformed into a dream to live a little longer
Han Cang took out a towel and began to cleanse his mouth full with blood. The metallic taste of blood still hasn't left
He looked outside of the small window and saw bright lights flashing across the City of
Shanghai, his black eyes reflecting the colorful night, after a second he withdraw his gaze and changed his clothing and wore a black jacket
Han Cang left his small apartment and took an elevator to go down into the colorful night. As the elevator door slowly opened a man and a woman appeared and the woman hold a new born baby covered in white clothing
The family moved past Han Cang. Han Cang couldn't help as he felt lonely and unfulfilled. He dreamt of a life full of luxury, fame, and others surrounding him but now he could only looked at it from a distance
"This World is truly unfair, but I Han Cang must persevere until the final beat of this heart!"
As the elevator door opened, Han Cang exited the elevator and began to walk to the exit of the tenement, as he entered the colorful streets of the night
The moon shine brightly on the City as it illuminated the City of Shanghai before it's silvery light
Han Cang walked alone into the store on the other side of the tenement
He later looked around for a while and saw a noodle, he picked it up and goes into the counter
The casher was a female on her 40s and began to exchange pleasentries with Han Cang
"Han Cang, how have you been?"
Han Cang politely answered
"I'm doing well, what about you young lady?"
"Ohhh, I'm not a young lady anymore even though I wish to go back"
"There are somethings that we want to have back but we can't do that, so if we still have it we have to appreciate it"
The lady smiled and the man nodded
Han Cang payed for the bill and goes outside then a sudden and unprecedented water droplet fell down and was accompanied by many more
Han Cang sigh as he said in a devastated voice
"How bad is my luck today?"
He then made a plan. The plan is too run across the street to the tenement
Han Cang began to run then a bright and blinding light appeared so suddenly in this night. The light moved closer as Han Cang turned his head and saw a black pick up track on his vision
The truck was only one centimeter away from hitting him, Han Cang tried to run but his body was late then
Crash!
